January 19, 1999

Deerfield — Two pairs of pink ballet slippers were reported stolen from Stretch It, 839 1/2 Waukegan Rd., a Deerfield police report said. The shoes were noticed missing Wednesday after a man entered the store, looked around, and then told the clerk he forgot something and left the store, the report said. He returned a short time later with two shoe boxes containing two pairs of ballet slippers and tried to return them for cash, the report said. The clerk refused to exchange the shoes without a receipt and the man left the store with the shoes, the report said. The clerk then noticed that two pairs of ballet slippers identical to the ones the man tried to return were missing from a display.
